Popular Books about Astrophysics and Cosmology

Detail from JWST early deep field image

Keep Looking Up! We are gobsmacked thinking about all that's represented by those glimpses of fuzzy light spotted in a field of pinpoint stars. Whether we consider the clouds and clusters here in the Milky Way or shift our gaze outwards across billions of light years, humans applying math to their observations answer fundamental questions about gravity, quantum mechanics, time, and the universe. Some authors have a gift for explaining complexities in terms that elide the equations.
